Aloha,
I have setup the database and installed the SMF 2.1 RC1 Release software on WAMP and all went fine until I attempted to log onto the test site. The only message that I get is no matter how long I wait. Is this a side effect of the new system? It will not work in a local test environment. Are there special settings to get this to work with WAMP?

Using a work-around for the time being... Replaced the checksession() routine in Security.php with
function checkSession($type = 'post', $from_action = '', $is_fatal = true)
{
return '';
}
The checksession() routine always fails in WAMP and gives the time-out message. I will check this issue later.
I use a local WAMP for testing, with no such issues. So there is a puzzle to be solved here.
I would try DB & non-DB sessions for starters. Maybe try clearing cookies.
Hope this helps,
I will run it thru the debugger to see why it fails. Also I get these errors in the SMF error log
Type of error: Undefined
8: Undefined index: http://localhost/smf/smf_2_1/index.php?action=signup
C:/wamp64/www/smf/smf_2_1/Sources/Subs.php (Line 3091)
==>3091: return $smileyPregReplacements[$matches[1]];
Could you place debug stop ther and check the var:
$smileyPregSearch
$smileyPregReplacements
Yes, I will get to that. I am encountering other issues. I get these messages in the php error log: This happens when starting SMF.

The error does not happen every time thru but it is constant.
I think you need to disable xdebug.
I get those messages when xdebug is active. (Property access not allowed yet.)
There's a workaround for when xdebug is needed.
The cron issues are a known RC1 bug and a mod was released to the mod site to fix that. Might be worth installing to see what it clears up.
Thanks, I will look for it. Any idea of what it was called?

Thanks Arantor.
That MOD make a big difference and the timeout message is less frequent.
Update: All is working locally as expected after the installation of the fix-background-tasks MOD. Still have an intermittent issue with getting the timeout error using the login link. Most of the time it is after using the sign in link and not finishing the sign in then going to the log in link. Will test this further.
I would check your sessions save path and permissions on that path in your php.ini settings
All the various timeouts have to do with expiring cookies and the creation/deletion of cookies.
